Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Remington Model 141 in .35 Rem Caliber

Anybody care to discuss this rifle and caliber?

I have this rifle and the workmanship is superb. It would probably cost a fortune to build it today. It is somewhat of a "rattler" with the forearm but I don't think it's as bad as a Model 760. The .35 Remington caliber speaks for itself but what comes to my mind is "one shot - one kill". Thanks...Bill.

Bill,

Have you tried any Hornady Lever Evolution ammo in the rifle. I have and have trouble with it feeding through the action. I plan to shoot it single shot for practice and then handload some Round Nose bullets.

Huron:

FWIW I run the leverevolution through mine and I've had no feeding issues and it is VERY accurate!

No I haven't. I stick with the Core-Lokts because with my failing eyesight it's strictly a short range rifle for me. I agree that the LeverEvolutions would be a problem. I have a nice receiver sight that I have never mounted because it requires a third screw to be placed into the wood and I hate to deface it so I stick with the original barrel sights and just hang on to the receiver sight for maybe future installation. I have cataracts so bad I can't hit the side of a barn. I have to wait until September to get them removed. Thanks...Bill.

I have the ammo but so far have not tried it in either my 141 or my Marlins.

I have 1, SN 302xx, and think that it is a nice rifle, even if it is a little heavy. A previous owner had it d&t for a receiver sight, I guess that he didn't like the Lyman R14 tang peep that it came factory d&t for.

I've owned several 14s and 141s in all 4 calibers, 25, 30, 32, and 35. I would love to have had a chance to buy Bearrr264's Grandfather's highly engraved 141 in 35, but I don't know what became of it after his Mother passed away. By far the nicest, fanciest, 141 that I've ever seen.

I have a Model 141 in 35 Remington. Mine has been drilled and tapped for a scope and wears a Weaver 4X. I picked it up a few years ago and it is an excellent rifle. The LeverEvolution ammo is a bit too long to feed, but shoots well. I have come to prefer the reliable old standard 200 grain CoreLokt in a handload or factory ammo. As is said, they don't make 'em like that anymore.

Back in the early 1970s, I hunted deer near Bridgeton, ME, with a group from the Lynn, MA, area, mostly guys who built jet engines at the GE Riverworks Plant. Although most of them were Remington 740 and 742 30-06 shooters, a couple of them used 35 Remingtons in the Remington 14 and 600 and the Marlin 336. There were guys who were convinced that the 150 grain PCL was a better, quicker, killer than the 200 grain RNCL. I think that I've only shot Federal, Remington, and Winchester 200 grain factory loads in the variety of 35 Remingtons that I've owned over the years.

.35 Rem brass seems to be scarce, not even listed in a lot of catalogs. Where do you guys find your's?

Graf & Sons has Winchester/Olin 35 Remington brass listed as being available for $27.56 per 50.

I found some at one of those places the libs hate! A gunshow! 200 once fired all Reminton, for $25.00! Guy said he didn't reload, darn!

I have an elderly friend who has one and offered to sell it to me on a regular basis for the past 30 years. I think I will call him and see if he still wants to do this.

i own both the 141 and 14 in both rifle and carbine length. they are the slickest, handiest guns around, especially the carbines. i use mine for hunting and backyard shooting. the 35 is a nice round but i really like the 30 rem. low recoil, low noise, ballistically equivalent to the 30/30 but rimless. if you can find a 141 in 35 in nice condition, grab it. you won't be disappointed.

I have a friend with a .35 Marlin, wanting me to load for him. I found some Speer bullets and bought a set of dies on Ebay. Just had problems finding brass. He's bought factory ammo where he can and is saving the brass. Thanks for the input. Will check out Grafs.

I hunted with a 141 in 35 when I was a teenager, nice
looking gun, but it was kind of worn and jammed every now
and then.

Here ya go.

not sure why it didn't post a link, but there's the address

I've been meaning to start a similar thread to this one. In my quest for this years "perfect big woods gun" I have decided on either a 141 or 14 in .35 rem. I have to follow up on a couple of leads, a 141 rifle that has been d&t, and a model 14 also d&t. Both seem pretty reasonably priced compared to what they are asking for them on g.b. Any tips on what to look for, as far as problems these guns may be known for?
My best source of .35 rem brass is wally world. Remington factory ammo is less than $14. Thats probally cheaper than loading your own.

Hur..,

My grandad left me a near new 141. My eyes being not so good, I had it drilled and tapped and the 24" barrel cut off to 20". It is now the handiest woods rifle ever created. My reloads didn't feed so well but Walmart sells factory ammo every year.

Last week I bought a very nice 141 .35 Rem. in very good condition. It is everything I hoped it would be, with one exception. The forearm/slide rattles quite a bit, the noise comes from the contact between the spiral magazine and the bracket that guides the magazine on the bottom of the barrel. Is there a fix? It bothers me, I still hunt alot, and want all of my gear as quiet as possible. Realistically, have any of you 141/14 owners ever had a problem with this rattle, or would you say its nothing to worry about?
